House Hunting is Fun?

So everytime that we have moved, I always go into the move looking forward to finding a new house. Should be easy, right? Especially in a large city like Birmingham? We have spent the last 4 or so weeks searching for the right house for our family. Birmingham is a great city with lots of great attributes and just like any other city there are places that you should and should not live based upon the needs of your family. For us the most important things were the schools, the house, and then the commute. We found some houses that would have worked, but they were either in the wrong schools or were a horrible commute. Finally last week we narrowed down our search to 2 areas of Birmingham that met the school and commute criteria, we just had to find the house. And WE DID! Finally after viewing what feels like a million houses we found one we really like and that meets all of our needs. Yeah! We hope to close by the 30th of this month and move by the second week of October.
By the way, 5 more days until I meet my little one! Can't wait!

Yea! Boo hoo! Yea!
My emotions are so mixed up about this!!! Except for meeting your little one. Sure wish I could see her grow up a little longer though.
Changes are hard. But good.
Will miss you so much. So much.

I'm with Corrie. So excited that your house hunt is over but so sad to have you moving.

I think we need to plan a quarterly Dewsnup/Kesler/Thornton dinner and temple night.

Are you guys in?

We'll be in touch but please know that we are here to help this week and through the move.
